Kenfig.org Website:

We are currently undergoing a major facelift and are working on a new version of this website in the background. We are documenting the entire history of the Old Kenfig Borough / Old Bro Cynffig from pre-historic times to the present day, where we are the only official website project engaged in our communities in doing so.


We will be integrating the new website in place of this current version over the coming months - there is a substantial amount of new material about the history of Kenfig and surrounding areas coming soon...


The above is outlined to inform the local public about us and to stem the confusion surrounding similar projects in our area and the gossip associated with the like.


The National Library of Wales:

A number of local people are sceptical about our association with the National Library and our social status in accordance with this website project.


We are therefore placing a link to the National Library of Wales Full Online Catalogue below:
